The movie, set to hit theaters on May 4, 2024, is expected to be a political thriller, and fans have been speculating about the plot and possible title since its announcement.
However, recent rumors suggest that the film's original title, Captain America: New World Order, may no longer be in use.

Initially, fans speculated about the meaning behind the title, with Thunderbolt Ross playing the President of the United States and Tim Blake Nelson rumored to play the villain. However, a March 21 Instagram post suggested that the title's association with geopolitical events involving Russia and China was problematic.
Despite rumors of the Writers Guild of America strike affecting the title, @CanWeGetToast debunked the rumors, stating that the writer's strike had no impact on the title change.
This is not the first time real-world events have affected Marvel films. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier had to remove a virus plotline following the pandemic outbreak. Meanwhile, Secret Invasion underwent lengthy reshoots due to scenes set initially in Russia, now in conflict with Ukraine.
It remains to be seen when Marvel will announce the title change, given the subject's sensitive nature. However, fans eagerly await the new title and how it will impact the upcoming Phase 5 film.
